Without the IRGC’s advisory support for Baghdad and Damascus, Daesh would have
undoubtedly dominated Iraq and Syria, Head of the Founding Council and Board of
Trustees of the Islamic Azad University Ali Akbar Velayati told reporters in
Tehran on Tuesday, after a meeting with Syria’s ambassador to Iran.
That is why the Americans, namely the sponsors of Daesh militants, are angry at
the IRGC, he said, adding that they are unable to harm the IRGC, underlining the
Iranian nation’s unity and support for the IRGC and the country’s territorial
integrity.
In comments on Sunday, IRGC Commander Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said if
speculations about the US administration’s "stupid decision” to designate the
IRGC as a terrorist organization are true, the IRGC will in turn treat the US
military around the world, particularly in the Middle East, as Daesh (ISIL)
forces.
